Critics have stated the need for new national security legislation for Hong Kong, a constitutional requirement on practical grounds since the existing legislation is a threat to civil liberties and is found to affect China's influence on the former colony's domestic affairs. Thus, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government is attempting to propose new norms by reviewing its proposals in the light of taking public concerns into account.
